Recognise these peas? Yup, they're the ones from our garden, and they're the ones that prompted a simple Carbonara for dinner. Not that it was a completely random decision- it just so happens to be one of Mr E's favourites. Bonus.

Potato 'Salad'
Question: why is potato salad called a salad? Isn't that false advertising? I know not all salads are leafy and green (believe me, I'm familiar with non leafy salads... given my aversion to leafy things it's the only way I eat salad!), but really isn't that just stretching the truth a little too far? I know there are healthier versions and tweaks you can make to nudge it back in the direction of health food, but as far as I'm concerned the things you might tweak are what make potato salad so glorious in the first place- why mess with a good thing?

Bacon and Chickpea Soup with Spicy Tortilla Chips
Wow. Just wow. Seriously- wow. Yes, I know the title of this post was "blah blah soup blah blah" but I promise, soup can be wow! Don't believe me? Having served this for Sunday lunch I was still pottering about in the kitchen (read: taking photos to post on here) before sitting down to eat, and suddenly there was a great deal of shouting from the other room. "Honey! Honey! Seriously, come quick, you have to taste this!"... which brought a smile to my face almost as quickly as I thought "he thinks I didn't taste it before serving?".
